Exclamation marks had been helping people to express their emotions in writing even before emojis had appeared. Needless to say, this means of punctuation was really good at its job. The mark was implemented in typography back in the 15th century, and since then it's been widely used to convey astonishment, surprise, excitement, indignation and other strong feelings.
Heavy exclamation mark has an unusual description. In terms of size, its upper part doesn't exceed the lower dot and has a drop-like shape significantly narrowing closer to the bottom. If you need a more familiar exclamation mark, the appearance of which you're accustomed with, check out the classic typographical symbol [U:0021] or a smaller symbol with a rectangular upper part [U:FE57].
